Stop destroying your trailer and cargo.
Every bump, pothole, and expansion joint sends a violent jolt through your trailer frame, damaging cargo and wearing out your truck. Shocker Air Ride Hitches absorb that punishment at the coupling, before it reaches your trailer.
Pull a loaded dump trailer or skid-steer hauler behind a 1-ton on rough highway and you feel every frost heave and hard stop jolt straight up through the truck. A solid ball mount hands that shock to your bed, your trailer, and your back. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes the sting out. It is the heavy-duty cushion hitch built for 1-ton trucks and loads up to 20,000 lbs, using the same proven dual rubber bump cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K on a beefed-up 20K chassis with a matte black powder coat. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch & Drop Ball Mount w/2-5/16" Ball & Sway Bar Tabs carries 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb tongue weight, fits 2-inch receivers, and gives 0" to 7-1/2" of drop to sit your trailer level. All with zero air pressure to manage and no ongoing maintenance.
Key Highlights
- Hauls up to 20,000 lbs gross with 2,000 lbs on the tongue, enough for the heaviest trailer behind a 1-ton
- Sealed dual rubber cushions soak up road shock with no air to check and nothing to service
- Textured matte black powder coat shrugs off rock chips and hides road grime on a blacked-out truck
- 2-inch shank drops into class III and IV receivers, right down to an F-150-class half-ton
- 7-hole frame flips over for more drop or rise so you can set the trailer level
- Takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black, so your gear cross-fits
- Costs roughly 30 to 40% less than the HD Max Black 20K air-ride version
- Built for 1-ton pickups and dually trucks running right at the 20K limit

Why Step Up to a 20K Cushion Hitch
Enough Muscle for a 1-Ton
The 14K Impact Cushion has plenty of margin for half-tons and a lot of three-quarter-tons. But the day you start pulling skid steers, dump trailers, or a loaded equipment hauler behind a 1-ton, you want the 20K chassis under you. Same cushion technology, heavier-duty steel.
Two Cushions Doing the Work
Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and rebound to swallow the shock a heavy load throws at your truck. The ball mount pivots as they flex, and that is what makes a cushion hitch ride smoother than a solid mount, even loaded to the full 20,000 lbs.
A Finish That Hides the Miles
Textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, resists chipping, and looks right behind a modern blacked-out truck. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
No Compressor to Drag Around
Air-ride hitches at this capacity need a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is nothing to inflate or check. That matters on a remote job site or ranch where running a compressor is not always practical.
Who This Hitch Is Built For
Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and loads that actually need it, without the air-ride routine.
- 1-ton pickups like the F-350, RAM 3500, and GMC 3500HD
- Dually trucks towing right at full weight
- Skid steer, dump, and equipment trailers
- Contractor and ranch loads at or near 20,000 lbs
- Fleet trucks that want simple and tough over adjustable
- Owners who outgrew the Impact Cushion 14K and need more capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Same 20K chassis, same matte black finish. It comes down to how each one soaks up the road.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Sealed rubber cushions, nothing to maintain, and roughly 30 to 40% cheaper. No compressor and no pressure gauge. This is the pick if you want simple, tough, and a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount without taking on the air-ride routine.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you tune to each load, with more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is a wear item over many years, though it is field-replaceable when that day comes. Best for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who want to dial in the ride.
Made for the Job Site
On a working ranch, a remote job site, or a busy fleet yard, you do not always have a minute to check airbag pressure before you pull out. The Impact Max 20K takes that step off your list. Hook up, pull, unhook, and repeat for years with no maintenance routine. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but want to treat the hitch like any other piece of fleet equipment, this is the line for you.
Runs the Same Attachments as the HD Max Black
The Impact Max 20K takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. Run several trucks across the Shocker lineup and your attachments cross-fit across the 20K family, so you can buy one set and share it. It wears a textured matte black powder coat that stands up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it ships from stock in Canada, so there is no border wait.
